Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 340

I acknowledged the message and turned the car around to see the imprisoned Richard and Lily.

Unlike last time, the guards were all Helen’s people, which meant Max had quite a few agents positioned here.

Halfway there, I once again heard Lily’s laughter. “You cleared every obstacle for her, but in the end, she’s just as ruthless as her mother. She ruined all your plans, didn’t she?”

I expected Richard to be angry, but his indifferent laugh echoed through the space for a moment.

And as for Max, I had given up all hope.

Our relationship seemed to be nothing more than his endless manipulations, with me playing a part in his plans.

What was the point of a love that wasn’t pure?

Knock, knock—
